The Ultimate Guide to Total War Warhammer 2 Skill Trees: Tips, Tricks, and Builds



Many skills are designed so that they can be selected several times (usually up to 3 times per skill), with each selection adding further benefit for the stat that the skill is associated with. A typical skill line will have an initial key skill which unlocks the line and 4 subsequent skills. Once enough of these skills have been selected a second key skill will become available, which will unlock a the second set of skills in the line. Once several of the skills in the second set of the line have been selected, a final skill which is usually a battle triggered skill becomes unlocked. A typical skill line is fully developed at a cost of around 26-28 skill points. Given that the total skill points allotted to a general or character maxes out at 28 points, it is impossible to fully develop more than one line per character, unless mods are enabled.




Total War Warhammer 2 Skill Trees



Characters of the Old World now get red skill trees comparable to their New World counterparts in WARHAMMER II, plus numerous tweaks and changes to their existing skills, traits and abilities. Character mounts have also been standardised to unlock at specific ranks. These are all detailed below.


Skills trees differ according to a character's class, granting them bonuses and new abilities related to their role and function in campaign and battle. There are also skills which grant improvements to attributes other than their key attribute, so the player has a choice in shaping their development and abilities and broadening their effectiveness outside their core class role.


The max Rank for Lords and Heroes has been increased again to 50 in Total War: Warhammer 3, after starting at 30 in the original Total War: Warhammer, and then being increased to 40 in Total War: Warhammer 2. On top of this increase, there have been some major changes to how Ranks and skill trees work in the latest title, meaning that high level characters now have even more points to spend.


With 49 skill points to spend, and essential skills like mounts and immortality now free, most characters will have completed almost all of their skill trees by the time they hit 50. Therefore, players should focus on the order that they'll level things up rather than the final result. The top line of skills will boost the character's personal abilities, the middle line will boost their army, and the bottom line will improve their performance on the Total War: Warhammer 3 campaign map.


Unlike most other mechanics in Total War: Warhammer 3, the best methods of leveling Lords in Total War: Warhammer 3 can be very elusive. This complexity increases when the player needs to level their Legendary Lords: unique Lords that have their own unique skill trees, passives, and stats. Players wishing to complete the Realms of Chaos campaign will want their Lord to be as powerful as possible. For those that choose to play as the Oracles of Tzeentch, Kairos Fateweaver will be their Legendary Lord. While Kairos Fateweaver can be one of the most powerful Legendary Lords in Total War: Warhammer 3, his skill tree is complex and has many options for players. Lords can only gain 49 skill points to spend so knowing which skills to invest skill points in is crucial to success as the Oracles of Tzeentch.


Before we get into our suggested best essential skills, consider how you like to play Horizon. Stealthy archer? Close-up melee? Trapper? Luckily, the skill trees are neatly arranged loosely based on playstyle, but there are some skills here and there that will benefit everyone regardless. Just keep your own preferences in mind when reading this list!


Those are plenty to get you started, but since the entirety of all Skill Trees are visible immediately, check them out and make a loose plan! Or, hold onto your Skill Points for a bit until you feel like you need a buff in a particular area. It will take a while to really figure out your favorite way to play, after all. Just keep in mind the Pit Challenges and the related Errand called The Enduring will require you to unlock certain Warrior skills to participate, but some Hunting Ground Trials will certainly benefit from skills on other trees, too.


For their services Lords and Heroes acquire higher levels, which in turn unlock additional skill points that are used to unlock new and more powerful abilities. Each Lord and Hero starts with level 1 (it can be changed by constructing specific buildings). Each level rewards a Hero / Lord with a single skill point - they can advance up to level 30, meaning that they can gain a total of 29 skill points.


However, aside from regular Heroes and Lords, there are Legendary Lords available in the game - those that can be selected at the beginning of the campaign (or recruited later, if you've met their requirements). Those Lords are generally more effective in combat and they receive additional, unique to them skill trees, that normally aren't available. Additionally, those Lords have abilities that are associated with quests - unlocked automatically for advancing to a certain level, or by completing a quest.


Changes includes Warriors of Chaos faction design changes, Wood Elf followers, and new skill trees and campaign effects for Old World Legendary Lords, plus there's also five new skill tree skills for Helman Ghorst, Old World characters can grab an immortality skill, and Bordeleaux now begins at war with Mousillon.


Vampire Counts will be losing the free skeletons crutch that was propping the faction up throughout Warhammer 2, and will instead get across-the-board buffs and balance changes to their units, tech trees, skill trees and even their lords. Recruitment buildings are also getting reshuffled, so getting higher tier units will be a lot easier than before.


This is a tree of passive skills that affect the characteristics of the agent. Each subclass has different initial set of open "branches". You can open new ones by performing Heroic deeds. Crusader and Assassin have the same trees, but the Psyker includes two unique branches.You get a skill point for each Account level, and they are available for all characters (even those that have not yet been created), but configures for each one. You can see the progress in opening the desired branch and the number of allocated points.


The Two-handed skill governs your effectiveness when using two-handed weapons, including greatswords, battleaxes, and warhammers. Each skill point grants a +0.5% bonus to the damage dealt (+2% for NPCs). The Two-handed skill tree has a total of 9 perks, requiring a total of 19 perk points to fill.


In regards to individual perks, both weapon skills are very much alike, making the choice of Two-handed over One-handed mostly preferential. For example, Limbsplitter, Deep Wounds, and Skullcrusher are the Two-handed parallels to One-handed's Hack and Slash, Bladesman, and Bone Breaker perks, respectively; they have almost completely identical effects, but affecting either one- or two-handed weapons. However, Two-handed has a unique Sweep power attack that strikes multiple foes, meaning if you can maintain it (such as via vegetable soup), its speed becomes a function of how many opponents you can keep within the Sweep, raising your DPS against hordes. There is no equivalent in One-handed, which instead gets perks to support dual wielding that raises its speed while dual wielding and its power attack damage while dual wielding; for comparison, a dual wielded dagger with both speed perks is functionally speed 1.755, while a sweeping warhammer needs 3 opponents within the sweep to be functionally speed 1.8.


In SpellForce 2 abilities are learned through leveling up in your skill trees. Upon having spent a point in said trees, the avatar or hero will be given a new ability instantly. This might either be access to new equipment, the access to a new ability or the improving of an already learned ability to a mastered ability. In SpellForce 2: Shadow Wars there were only the Combat and Magic trees and with SpellForce 2: Dragon Storm the Shaikan tree was added ever since. 2ff7e9595c
